Antibiotics!

Since being at the dentist for a gum abscess, I’ve had a course of antibiotics which is hellish. I’m suffering with side effects until Tuesday night so treadmill workouts are on hold till then. Unfortunately, we don’t appreciate health until we lose it!!!!

So true...but you are so sensible... we have had few folk running whilst their body has been fighting an infection and whilst on strong antibiotics...our body needs time to cope with the meds...( antibiotics affect me in that way also,) without any added stress.

Take care and feel better really soon x

Oh, I truly sympathise. I hate antibiotics but they're a necessary evil sometimes. I had a dental abcess over a year ago. I couldn't believe the pain. Dentist recommended taking paracetamol and ibuprofen in addition. Hope it all responds soon.

How horrid! I’ve had quite a few antibiotics in the past year and they knock you for six! Be very kind to yourself and eat well and get your body up to strength again it’s all about the micro biome once you have finished the course . Get well soon

I had almost 18 months of dental work with dose after dose of antibiotics. It really is no fun at all and I absolutely empathise. Hope you feel right as rain soon.
